To cut the long story short: I need a horse for dressage training (with a very good trainer/rider) - horse to be on at least Prelim level, possibly Novice working towards Elementary.
I need this horse for lessons only, I cannot loan, part-loan, own or similar as I will be teaching all hours to be able to afford this training.
So, the question is, would you be willing to lend your horse for training only (I would be paying for lessons), trailer that horse to the venue and basically don't ask for any money?

What's more, the horse would need to be stabled somewhere close to Patchetts EC (where the training would take place) as I guess nobody would want to travel their horse for hours so someone can have a lesson on it...

Would the fact that the horse was trained under v. good trainer and the rider would pay for those trainings be enough of an incentive for you to lend your horse (assuming you cannot/won't/ are not interested in schooling the horse yourself of course).

I will be chatting to my friend tomorrow about a possibility of using her eventer over the winter but the problem is she is over an hour drive away

Hey! Will see Jenny tomorrow. I am willing to try with any horse as long as he/she can be taken to Patchetts for lessons.
I am not an experienced dressage person though

My background is in SJ.
No, I am not on any livery, I don't own a horse. I teach freelance at various places in London.
Will PM you!
 
Could you just have dressage lessons at a yard where they provide the horse?

I don't think many people would be willing to provide a horse just for lessons - if the person doesn't want to ride the horse and you are only able to when you have a lesson, who would exercise it in between times?

Ditto, the majority of decent dressage places will have some great old schoolmasters you can probably use. I presume your relunctance to go anywhere else is because you want to use this specific trainer? (note: i havent read all the replies!)
